The Youngest Victim of Police Abuse

Survivor of prenatal police abuse Levii Dozier.

Levii Dozier is only four months old, but he’s already been
assaulted by the police.

Roughly five months ago, Levii’s mother Raven Dozier was
present when her brother got embroiled in a child custody dispute with a
girlfriend. After the police arrived, Raven did what she could to calm her brother
down. Eventually one of the officers shot the agitated man with a Taser. A
thugscrum quickly coalesced as several officers inflicted gratuitous punishment
on the prone and helpless man while his sister – who had been assisting the
police – looked on in horror.

“He’s on the ground!” shrieked Dozier, who was in tears. “You
don’t need to do that!”

For about fifteen minutes, the DeKalb County officers
conferred with a supervisor outside the house -- within earshot of Raven’s
brother, who was sitting, handcuffed, in the back of a police car.

“He kicked a pregnant woman,” one of the officers reported.

“You’ve got to charge her with something,” another replied,
pointing out that doing so would magically transmute aggravated assault into a “justified”
use of force.

Following the discussion outside, several officers
re-entered the home, where Dozier was on a couch trying to regain her
composure.

In a voice suppurating feigned concern, one of them asked if they
could take a picture of the traumatized mother; in the same affected tone, he
asked her if she could trouble herself to put on a pair of shoes and step
outside the house for a moment to talk with the supervisor.

As soon as Raven had crossed the threshold of her home, she
was placed under arrest for “obstruction.”

To their credit, officials at DeKalb County Jail refused to
book Dozier. Instead they sent her to a nearby hospital, where she passed a
small amount of blood and amniotic fluid. . A
photograph of Raven taken after Wheeler’s assault displayed a huge bruise
across Dozier’s abdomen. Two weeks later she gave birth to Levii by way of an
emergency C-section.

Atlanta attorney Mark Bullman, who is representing Raven Dozier
in a lawsuit, recalled to Pro Libertate that the doctors who treated Raven and
delivered Levii “found that the kick was severe enough that it caused the baby
to defecate in the womb.”

What this means is that Levii literally had the sh*t kicked
out of him by a bullying cop before he
was born.

In his official report of the incident, Wheeler did what
police in such circumstances always do: He lied, claiming that he was dealing
with an “aggressive” woman and that he used “a front push kick to the abdomen,
as [I] was taught to do at the academy.” It was only after he arrested this “aggressive”
woman that he supposedly noticed her condition.

“Her condition was obvious to everyone,” Bullman – himself a
retired police officer – explains. “She had gained seventy pounds in this
pregnancy. The incident took place in a well-lit area, and she had spent a
great deal of time standing alongside the police officers, attempting to calm
her brother down and resolve the situation.” Furthermore, as the comments
overheard by Dozier’s brother demonstrate, every officer on the scene was aware
of the expectant mother’s condition – and all of them instinctively
collaborated in covering up the crime committed against her.

That cover-up continued “all the way up the chain of
command,” Bullman observes. “There was no ambiguity about the facts, but this
didn’t matter.” The department exonerated Wheeler, ruling that his felonious
assault on Raven and her unborn child was “within policy.”

This was at least the third time the DeKalb County Police Department
has validated criminal acts committed by Officer Jarad Wheeler. On an earlier
occasion, he attacked a 53-year-old grandmother who was trying to help her
grandchildren following an automobile accident, slamming her face-first into
the hood of his car. Earlier this year, Wheeler – who had responded to the
wrong address – shot and killed a dog that was chained up inside its owner’s
garage.

Wheeler, who fancies himself a mixed martial artist of
sorts, has an undistinguished record when dealing with competitors who can
fight back – but he’s 3-0 when his opponent is a weeping pregnant woman, a
terrified grandmother, or a chained, harmless dog.

As was the case with Wheeler’s abuse of Raven Dozier,
Crumpton devised multiple “cover charges” to justify the assault. Perjuring
himself in an official report by claiming that Peterson had kicked his squad
car, Crumpton charged him with public drunkenness, felony interference with
government property, giving a false name, and obstruction.

Peterson spent five days in jail and lost his job as an
insurance broker because of the felony charges. After the charges were
dismissed, and an internal affairs investigation concluded that Crumpton had
committed perjury and false arrest, the officer was “punished” with a ten-hour
suspension – what Bullman correctly calls “a day off without pay.”

Crumpton still has his job. Peterson, his victim, remains
unemployed. This outcome is representative of police affairs in DeKalb County,
which Bullman describes as “the most corrupt government I’ve ever seen.” That opinion
is shared by at least a handful of embattled decent people employed by the
DeKalb PD.

“A few hours after the story [about Raven Dozier] was
broadcast, I received an e-mail from someone who was a police officer in
DeKalb,” Bullman told me. “It was a two-page, single-spaced document, replete
with names, dates, and details, describing dozens of incidents of abuse and
examples of official corruption.”

DeKalb County is an unincorporated urban area that includes part
of Atlanta. It is afflicted with both a large police department and a sheriff’s
office. A suitable snapshot of DeKalb’s culture of immersive corruption was
offered four years ago, when DeKalb Police Detective Anthony Robinson, an
undercover vice officer, was
caught on camera stealing cash and lottery tickets from a convenience store
where he was running a gambling sting.

Casual theft and whimsical sexual misconduct are commonplace
in DeKalb County law enforcement – and the criminal corruption grows in
crescendo the further one travels up the institutional pyramid.

In 2006, DeKalb Police Chief Louis Graham resigned a day
after learning that a special prosecutor had been appointed to investigate his
department. His successor was Terrell Bolton, a “gypsy cop” – or rather, “gypsy
chief” – who had been fired by the Dallas PD three years earlier.

An account compiled
by dissident officers in the DeKalb PD recalls that after Bolton had settled
in, he spent “millions of dollars on unneeded recreational vehicles, forc[ed]
into retirement or demot[ed] the command staff, [and brought] in his friends
and friends of friends as a regime.”

After Bolton was fired by DeKalb CEO Burrell Ellis in 2009,
the former chief demanded that the police in neighboring Decatur arrest Ellis,
Sheriff Brown, and County COO for false imprisonment, theft, and criminal
trespass. He claimed that those officials had held him for several hours
against his will the county courthouse pressuring him to resign.

According to Bullman the corruption in DeKalb County is so
pervasive that it would be possible “to indict a different police officer every
week” for the foreseeable future. The existing conditions provide a perfect
environment in which to cultivate violent sociopaths.

The progress of police corruption in DeKalb County is akin “to the development
of serial killers,” Bullman opines. “They don’t start out by killing or even
abusing other human beings; they might begin by pulling the wings off insects,
or torturing small animals. In time they commit isolated acts of cruelty,
pushing a little bit further each time they get away with it. Eventually they
start beating or abusing women, or children, and then emerge as fully realized
sociopathic killers.”

In DeKalb, this process has advanced to the point where “decent
and honorable police officers are leaving, often in fear of the off-the-chain
crazy people who are allowed free rein.”

“The only people who hate bad cops more than the general
public are good cops,” insists Bullman. Unfortunately, people in that profession who
try to maintain their ethical integrity “just keep their heads down and their
mouths shut in the hope of making it to retirement – and a lot of them around
here are simply quitting in disgust, choosing unemployment even in this economy
rather than being party to what they see happening around them. Eventually the
good people are gone or silenced – and we can see what we’re left with.”

Bullman describes the pandemic of lawless police abuse as a
symptom of imperial cultural decay: “We’re heading to hell in a handbasket,
just like every empire before us – Greek, Roman, British, all of them. Our
institutions reflect the fact that we’ve become fat, arrogant, and lazy – and we’re
willing to tolerate violence and lawlessness in our public institutions as long
as it happens to someone else. Of course, when it happens to someone we care
about, we don’t really have any legitimate reason to complain.”

A lawsuit filed by Bullman on behalf of five
Atlanta residents describes numerous instances in which RED DOG operators picked
out vulnerable people – invariably black males – who were handcuffed and then
subjected to public strip-searches – including body cavity searches. This was
done, Bullman says, as a way of “instilling the appropriate level of terror in
the community.”

This wasn’t a victory; an innocent grandmother was dead, her
family was traumatized, and the self-sustaining culture of police corruption
endured. Bullman describes his vocation as an effort “to stop as many people
from being abused as possible” – or at least exact some measure of justice for
those who have been abused.

Mark Bullman insists that, in principle, he remains “very supportive
of law enforcement in general.” It’s doubtful that Levii Dozier – who was
nearly killed by an abusive cop before he took his first breath – will share
that opinion.

Thanks again for the generous help so many of you have provided. I've sent out several batches of Liberty in Eclipse to those who have given donations, and more are on the way; all of them should be in the appropriate hands by the end of the month. I appreciate not only your generosity, but also your patience, since I am simultaneously packing and house-hunting (we have to vacate our present home by the second week of June).

Mark Bullman insists that, in principle, he remains “very supportive of law enforcement in general.”

A very unfortunate statement on Mr. Bullman's part. I do hope that he means "Peace Officers," and would love to give him the chance to clarify the statement. Otherwise, God bless him. No doubt he himself was just such a peace officer when he wore the badge. We need MANY more like him now, both behind a badge and practicing law.

Anon 11:28, you nailed it. Until the swine begin targeting outside the "poodle" class, we're probably going to continue to see the abuses go unchecked. If there's anything approaching a silver lining to this dark and destructive cloud, it is that the swine are going to run out of "poodles" very soon and are going to have no choice but to start in on "the rest of us" - this of course being exactly the plan of the reigning elite for whom these thugscum pigs are the muscle.

What?! Another "bullet head" picture of an abusive cop? Sheesh! You hear tales of skin-heads and gang bangers being the bad guys all the time. Guess the stories were right all along because these gangsters wear a uniform and badge.

ATTENTION!! All of you who have been abused, plundered, harmed and even know someone who has been murdered by these sick drones with guns and badges need to contact http://www.lawlessamerica.com or email Subject492@LawlessAmerica.com for more information on what you can do to stop the madness

Mr. Grigg,Unfortunately police brutality has come to our small community of Crane, MO located in Stone County. Some very good folks were hurt last weekend by some thugs wearing a badge. If you'd like to learn more, you can go to www.stonecountypolicebrutality.com

Well, the last commentators video clip was disturbing to say the least but completely in keeping with "heimat" sturmtruppen tactics. The little that the woman did in defense of her family members is viewed as an assault upon the cowards who are armed to the teeth. That should tell you something.

The Stone County video: Post the names of those jackboots for all to see. Plaster the town with posters showing their names - requesting that they and their families be shunned by every business and family.

When the posters are torn down, replace them ASAP.

Have a LARGE congregation of citizens call directly and in person on the Sheriff - letting him know in no uncertain terms that his re-election hinges on what he will do next.

If he does nothing, his name goes on the posters as well.

Every time a cop cars goes by on the street, all people should stare and point their fingers at them. After a couple of days of this happening continuously, they're going to get the message something has changed.

Bring the fight to them now, before they think they can get away with crap like this as a matter of course.

These cops and their families just don't understand the retribution that is going to descend upon them when that time is ripe for us to take back law and order and take back our rights. They will be shown no mercy.

Take care of those cops, at least 5000 in each State and things will improve. They say violence generates violence, well since there is no way to stop those rats, now it is the time for people to act and get rid of too many of those, the rest of the rats who are left alive will learn a lesson, the government needs to be afraid of us and not the other way around, what is wrong with you Americans?

How can people blame the poor police officer? After all, it makes a lot more sense, if you're going to kick someone in the gut; to do it to a pregnant woman.

If you kick a strong man in the gut, he just might chase you down the street and kick your ass.... but the pregnant woman, even if she wanted to, would be unable to chase the police officer down and return the favor.

This officer has learned (like most of 'em) that it is better to assault someone weaker than yourself. This way you won't really get your own ass kicked even though you write it up that first the citizen 'assaulted' you.

So don't be surprised when your grandmother or your little son or daughter get beat up by the 'rough and tumble' boys (and girls) in blue. The smaller (or older or more pregnant) the better!

Next time that Wheeler coward goes to the mat, someone should arm-bar him until his elbow disintegrates - then knee-bar him until his knee does likewise... then choke him out, preferably permanently.

We anarchists have said this for EVER: careers in 'correction' and/or "law" enforcement are highly attractive to the most vicious and sociopathic amongst us, because it's the most lucrative job those vermin can get. The same is true of careers in politics.
